[QUOTE="RHGreen, post: 5774876"] Interesting lecture (and short to me, not long - I love these things - I've watched several hours of Leonard Susskind lectures from Stanford University on Youtube. Great thing about this video is I actually understand all of it). Basically what he is describing is BECMI running along side AD&D1 running along side AD&D2. All you need is full compatibility between systems (as in I can take my BECMI wizard and play it in my other friend's AD&D1 game*) then 5E could be a winner. *Actually the things are close enough that you could pretty much do that anyway, except for stupid stuff like percentile strength, which is why I was BECMIcentric rather than AD&D. Essentials was actually like this but due to 4.5phobia and poor/late introduction/integration by WOTC it has many thinking it isn't compatible or perhaps even a superceding revision. [/QUOTE]
